Second guessing my invites

Valerie, on November 2, 2016 at 11:00 Posted in DIY 0 17

Heyyy!!!!

So now that I have to start narrowing down the guest list and look at printing my invitations, I am starting to second guess them. I love making cards and I know I can do MORE... but I want to keep them fairly simple so they won't cost a fortune to mail. I love the pocket fold look and having the info cards.. but then I saw these delicate window invites and I'm second guessing that too!
Brutally honest opinions PLEASE... what do you all think? Would you change anything? Should I do the other invites or leave them as is???

    Your invites look great and wouldn't change a thing. You've put a lot of work into them.

    I know exactly how that goes. We booked the first venue we toured and I just ordered my dress at my first and now only bridal appointment...I have some FOMO I am working through. Smiley laugh

    Thanks Samtam!! I think I just finished them early and see so many others while looking that I was second guessing myself. I had the dress regret for like a week... now invite regret!!!!!

    Your current invitations are gorgeous! They look so luxurious and they do have a bit of the window effect with the fold over. The pockets keep everything nice and neat and together!

    Valerie!! I always loved the style you chose for your invitations!! Smiley heart I would NEVER second guess them!! They are already amazing! I guess that's what happens when we always look at inspiring ideas... this might be a bit my fault... or Pinterest's Smiley laugh I like Chelsea's idea of maybe trying out a few one, because the window ones are really pretty too. Maybe you could even have different ones for your wedding party and close family than your general invites?

    Hi Valerie
    I feel your dilemma. I have a similar issue. Personally I love what you did with the pockets but the window invites does have a sense of elegance and style to it.
    I would still choose your pocket invites time and time again Smiley laugh

    Thanks Chelsea. That is true... but it's a template so it will look pretty darn similar (machine cuts it, not me thankfully). ARG indecision!!

    The delicate ones are really nice...

    I like the idea of the pocket fold ones, neat, tidy, and you have done a great job with them! But if I were choosing, I think I would vote the lace window options.

    I personally like your current invitations! But if you are second guessing you could always do a couple like the ones above and see how they turn out and maybe that will make it more clear to you which way to go in this situation! You might like how the photos look but maybe not how they actually turn out!
